“SATT’s Services Come to You” is pro bono land use consultation in the comfort of a mobile office at a convenient location in San Fernando Valley.

Every Monday morning, check my website (https://satt.edublogs.org/) and see if I will be in your community.  At no cost to you, I will advise you on your project.   This service is intended for those who cannot pay for an entitlement representative or you don’t want to wait in line at the public counter because SATT comes to your neighborhood!  I can also refer you to entitlement representatives since the Planning Department no longer provides that information.  Not only can you get 32 years of land use planning knowledge, you also get insights into the entitlement process gained as a Zoning Administrator with the City of Los Angeles.

Call 661 753.9861 or email : SATTGovt@gmail.com, to arrange a session.

SATT is member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) and  furthers its principle of “Responsibility to Our Profession and Colleagues” which includes educating the public about planning issues and their relevance to our everyday lives; and contributing time and effort to groups lacking in adequate planning resources and volunteer professional activities.
